The NFL is considering changing its single-helmet rule in 2021, which could result in the return of several classic throwback uniforms. The Broncos’ throwback “D” logo, for example, doesn’t look quite the same on the current dark blue helmet as it does on the old, baby blue helmet.
If the league starts allowing teams to use more than one helmet in a season, Denver’s true throwback uniforms could return. With that possibility in mind, the graphic designers behind ThePick6.com created mock-ups of throwbacks for the Broncos and three other teams.
That’s pretty awesome.
Our friends at the D-Line Co. liked the idea but they tweaked the uniform to make the blue just a little darker. This also looks sharp:
The Broncos changed their primary jersey color from blue back to orange in 2012 but the team doesn’t have any immediate plans of changing the current logo. Denver does use the old “D” logo for a hybrid Color Rush throwback look, so it’s possible that a true throwback design could emerge in 2021 if the rule change goes through.
